Browsing javadocs of external library
Answered
I am using IntellJ Idea 2019.3 and in the Libraries section of the Project Settings, I am able to see path to java docs for an external library.
In the project window, when I highlight this external library, I would like to find out if there is a way to browse through the module's Java Docs possibly by opening it in the default browser.

Library's JavaDocs section is designed to define documentation for functions, methods etc. used inside the library. See this screenshot on how it works:

So, there is no need to highlight the external library and browse through all its documentation. Instead, one can choose a function inside that library and see the documentation for the exact function in one step.

Thanks for your screenshot.
